Hoy fui al examen final del Curso de BarSmarts, con los colegas bartenders de New York, "los famosos" del grupo de Dale DeGroff, me toco preparar cocktails en frente de Mr. DeGroff a la vez el me juzgo. Le invite a visitar Argentina, y me dijo que estaba en sus planes, pero que no habia tenido tiempo todavia. Le gusto ver shakear mi coctelera Pompeya, es mas me pregunto si era europea, lo cual le dije que era Made in Argentina!, a la vez que le conte de la cultura de bar que Argentina siempre tuvo....

Les subire unas fotos del dia para conmemorar esta bendicion de haber encontrado a estos grandes y humildes colegas.

(Cuando me acerque a el, le pregunte si podes darle la mano, a lo cual me respondio con gran humildad,....por supuesto!!)..


Espero les haya gustado esta nota, les mostrare las fotos en breve.
